Apple French Bread Bake image

This is a recipe I received from my French teacher at school. It didn't specify a certain type of apple so I used granny smith because I prefer sour, but I suppose it would work with whatever is your preference. I used light cream cheese, I didn't add the walnuts, and I was also able to coat all the bread cubes with just 4 tbsp of butter instead of six, but I'm just putting the recipe on here as it is. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Time 1h20m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons butter
8 ounces French bread, loaf (with crust)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 large apples
6 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 inch cubes
1 cup walnuts, chopped
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut bread into 3/4 inch cubes. Place 6 tbsp butter into bottom of a large baking pan. Melt in oven.
  • Add bread cubes and toss to coat evenly. Bake bread until crisp and slightly browned, stirring occasionally (about 20 minutes). Remove bread from oven and raise temp to 400 degrees.
  • Simmer brown sugar, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and it is syrupy (about 5 minutes). Add 2 tbsp butter to mixture while hot and stir until melted.
  • Peel and core apples and cut into a small dice. Combine apples, bread cubes, cream cheese cubes, and walnuts. Pour syrup over all and toss to coat.
  • Butter a 9x13 inch dish well. Pour mixture into buttered dish and spread evenly. Bake in 400 degree oven for 40 minutes. If browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  • Serve warm topped with whipped cream or ice cream!
